I found this essay on teaching and how difficult it can be.

Thanks for throwing us that bone dogshed. Really good read and glad that there are others out there telling it like it is.

Teaching is an art and also something to be taken seriously -- especially good teaching. And a good teacher is wholly made by the effort they make to reflect, to reflect upon how they can do better, motivate better, get more stirred up in their students.

This guy eventually learnt and began to reflect -- pity it took a death.

He did explain that there were some other issues besides his class that led to the death.

oh oh, didn't mean in any way he was responsible for her death! Just mean it was the straw that broke his hard teacher's back.....

Sorry if that wasn't clear.
